Stress and bacteria buildup on the surface of the skin can clog pores and cause breakouts. At least twice a week cleanse your pores, especially the 'T-zone' with this mixture. First, clean your face. Then mix together 1 tablespoon of raw honey with 2 tablespoons of good quality coconut oil. Spread on your face in little circles with your fingers, for 3 or 4 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.

Moisturizing Face Mask

​Spread 1 tablespoon raw honey on face & neck. Use small circles and let your fingers do the work. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel. Honey draws and retains moisture and goodness knows our faces need moisture!

Exfoliating Solution

(better known as "ewwwww.....get that dead skin away from me!")

The chemical load on your face doesn't just include makeup. Don't forget walking through polluted air like that which is produced by city traffic, or that just about everything we eat has been chemically treated. When it's time to get those dead skin cells off your body, here's a good mix to try: Mix 2 tablespoons raw honey with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Mix well. Gently wet your face and apply the mixture in circles. Rinse well with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.

If you wish to make up a batch for a full body exfoliation I recommend 3 times each amount (6 T. honey and 3 T. baking soda). Wet your body with your shower, and exfoliate your skin by spreading it in gentle circles all over with a loofa sponge. While you are doing this, fill up the tub. When the exfoliating part is done, soak for about 20 minutes. Empty the tub and use the shower nozzle to clean off any remaining honey mixture. Pat your body dry with a clean towel. You will come out glowing.

For a little extra atmosphere and spiritual awakening while you soak burn a couple of beeswax candles around the edge of the tub. We have them on our Candle Page.
